There are a few Greek words for love, as the Greek language distinguishes how the word is used. Ancient Greek has four distinct words for love: agápe, éros, philía, and storgē. However, as with other languages, it has been historically difficult to separate the meanings of these words. Nonetheless, the senses in which these words were generally used are given below.
This is a list of Greek words with derivatives in English. The words are in Greek alphabetic order, with tables for the 24 Greek letters, listing thousands of related English words.
There are considerable differences between the various transliterations used to represent the Greek alphabet in English. The table in the sidebar shows:
Rough breathing was represented in some Greek dialects by an [h] while in others, the [h] represented the vowel eta (the origin of the sign is thought to be the left-hand half ( ├ ) of the letter H): a rough breathing over an initial vowel or diphthong – ἁ ἑ ἡ ἱ ὁ ὑ ὡ – indicates that the word was pronounced with an initial h, and a smooth breathing – ἀ ἐ ἠ ἰ ὀ ὐ ὠ – indicates the absence of an h, but this has since disappeared in speech, and Modern Greek omits the breathings. An initial upsilon (υ) always had the rough breathing – ὑ – hence hy is very common at the start of words derived from Greek, but no (or very few) such words start with y.
The letter rho (ρ) at the start of a word always had the rough breathing – ῥ – and is transliterated rh. If a rho was geminated within a word, the first ρ always had the smooth breathing and the second the rough breathing – ῤῥ – leading to the transiliteration rrh.

Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who came across Bieber's videos on YouTube and later became his manager. Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid. Bieber's debut single, "One Time", was released in 2009 and peaked in the top twenty in Canada and charted in the top thirty in several international markets.

[Verse 1:]
You don't know how cold it is
Till a warm breeze blows
Can't hear the static in the song
Till you change the station, now
Sitting, waiting on the green
Been trying to change my scene
Let's hit the road let it be known...
Universally, oh lawd
[Chorus:]
M-O-V-I-N-G
I'm moving on so gracefully
I took R-E-S-P-E-C-T-ing
Myself first to truly see...
Moving on... Moving on... Moving on, wouuwwee
Thanks for the song, but I'm moving on
To bigger and better things
Oh lawd..
[Verse 2:]
You can say it's my fault
I can say its you
No more lies, don't apologize
We both know the truth
I'm crying, dying in the scene
Been trying.. just to breath
Let's hit the road, let new love grow
Universally oh lawd
[Repeat chorus]
I see what you're doing
I've been right here before
We're hurting, hating, racing, pacing
So it's you and me no more
Moving on... moving... yeah I'm moving up and
Moving on
Thank you for your time and song, but baby I'll be
moving
[Repeat chorus]
